The problem with splitting into two lists is that the "advanced" users will
not be around to answer the "beginner" questions.
I agree that there is a lot of traffic on this list, both beginner and
advanced. I see it as a benefit though.
The beginners get to learn from the advanced, and the advanced (developers)
get to see the typical types of questions that are asked. This may then
lead to a better design, or better documentation, etc.
Just my two cents. :)

Struts is free, user-supported software and we depend on the advanced
users to help the beginners. A few of us have write access to the Struts
repository, but most of the end-user support, patches, and new
contributions must come from the user community if Struts is to continue
to grow.
Right now, Jakarta can offer us a mailing list for the end-users and a
mailing list to discuss new Struts development. If other support
services are going to be offered, like newsgroups or bulletin boards or
list digests, we would need someone to step up and volunteer the
resources and energy to make those services work.

We already have a struts-user and struts-dev list.
I doubt a beginner and advanced list would work
because newbies would likely cross-post to both lists
or even go directly to the advanced list because they
think a more advanced readership would be able to help
them.
My only suggestion would be to put a link on the
Struts homepage to the archives where people can
search for past resolutions to common problems.
Also, mailing list commands (how to unsubscribe)
should be echoed on the homepage. From the number of
unsubscribe posts we get in here, it's obvious people
aren't reading the reply from the mailing list upon
joining that teach them how to do all this.
